how are jupiter and the sun similar?\na. the core of each is made of rock.\nb. both are made of hot, dense gases.\nc. both flip on their poles every 11 years.\nd. the gravity of each is greater than earths gravity.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
Jupiter is a gas - giant planet and the Sun is a star. Both are composed mainly of hot, dense gases (hydrogen and helium). The Sun's core is not made of rock but is a site of nuclear fusion. Jupiter does not have a rocky core like terrestrial planets. Neither Jupiter nor the Sun flips on their poles every 11 years. While it's true that both Jupiter and the Sun have greater gravity than Earth, the most fundamental similarity is their composition of hot, dense gases.
Answer:
B. Both are made of hot, dense gases.
